Estimation of Reference Values of Gait Spatiotemporal and Kinematic Parameters in the Lower Extremities and Trunk Using a Markerless Motion Capture System for Healthy Older Japanese Adults.
Article in Physical therapy research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis preliminary study aimed to explore the reference values of spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in the lower extremities and trunk during gait for the healthy older adults.
methodsWalking speed, stride length and time, cadence, walk ratio, and step width were calculated as spatiotemporal parameters of gait. Forward tilting of the trunk (FTT), hip flexion and extension, knee flexion and extension, and their laterality were measured as peak angles during one-gait cycle. The bootstrap method was conducted to estimate the 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsThis study included 334 healthy older adults (255 women). The following gait parameters were estimated with 95%CI: walking speed (95%CI 1.21-1.30), cadence (95%CI 116.35-121.20), walk ratio (95%CI 0.0055-0.0060), step width (95%CI 0.15-0.17), FTT (95%CI 1.91-4.19), hip flexion (95%CI 28.54-31.01), hip extension (95%CI 19.30-22.27), knee extension (95%CI 0.09-0.14), laterality of hip flexion (95%CI 1.31-2.02), laterality of hip extension (95%CI 1.32-1.97), laterality of knee flexion (95%CI 3.41-4.77), and laterality of knee extension (95%CI 0.07-0.13) in men, and walking speed (95%CI 1.28-1.34), walk ratio (95%CI 0.0050-0.0054), FTT (95%CI 2.54-3.73), hip flexion (95%CI 32.80-34.28), laterality of hip flexion (95%CI 1.65-2.05), laterality of hip extension (95%CI 2.06-2.57), and laterality of knee flexion (95%CI 3.04-3.89) in women.
conclusionThis study suggested provisional reference values of spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in the lower extremities and trunk during gait for the healthy older adults.
